(NewsNation) — Gerrielle German of Mississippi and her three-year-old son Ashton are two of the at least six people who have been missing for months after reportedly joining an online cult, NewsNation local affiliate WREG is reporting.
German and Ashton were reported missing by her mother in early July, Horn Lake police said, according to the news outlet.
They, along with Mikayla Thompson, 25; Naaman Williams, 30, Ma’Kayla Wickerson, 36; Ashton Williams, 2; and Malaiyah Wickerson, 3, were reportedly followers of an online cult led by Rashad Jamal. Last seen in the St. Louis, Missouri area in August 2023, the group reportedly lived in Wickerson’s home before disappearing.
Jamal is currently in jail after being charged with sexually abusing the children of a previous partner as well as other charges of cruelty to children. Followers joined him through social media platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
His teachings blended a variety of influences, including New Age and nature spiritualist, Afrocentrism, esoterism and occultism and polygamy, along with conspiracy theories. Part of Jamal’s preachings were that he is a God.
